Following Colorado’s 30-28 loss Saturday to FCS-level Sacramento State, CU coach Jon Embree said he had called a coaches meeting and all positions on the team would be re-evaluated.

The question becomes, will changes be made on the depth chart?

The quarterback job is always a focus, and junior Jordan Webb completed just half his 24 passes and missed on some key plays in the second half.

I would be surprised if Embree switches this week to sophomore Connor Wood, who did complete his only pass attempt: a third-down conversion of 28 yards to freshman wideout Gerald Thomas in the third quarter.

But it would not surprise me if Embree is more willing to put Wood in Saturday’s game at Fresno State if Webb struggles.

Wood, a transfer from Texas, was asked after the loss to Sacramento State about Embree’s comments.

“After a loss like this, a lot of guys had their hand in the loss,” Wood said. “It’s not just the quarterback position. It’s everyone. Right now I’m not thinking about the job.

“It is a rough deal to lose to a (FCS) team; I have never done that before. The guys are pretty dejected, but I think we need to have some resolve. We can’t step back. We have to more forward. It’s a long season, so that’s what we are looking for — just getting back to work and grinding.”

Wood said he was not surprised to hear that Embree is analyzing every postion on the team.

“There is no one that has empowerment to a position, especially after (a performance like) that,” he said. “Personally, I am just going to go into practice on Monday and do the stuff I have been doing. I am going to work hard and push myself and the rest of the guys and just be a good leader out there.

“I’ve always been competing for the starting job since I’ve been here. It didn’t stop when Jordan was named the starter. I’m going to keep doing what I’m good at and trying to get better each day. We’ll see what happens.”
